The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed that Amazon is dead. But we’re probably still getting Hourman, according to THR:

“We did not go forward with it,” CW president Mark Pedowitz told The Hollywood Reporter following his Wednesday session at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour. “It all depends on the script. We were very careful with Arrow, and we’re being very careful with Flash,” [CW President Mark] Pedowitz said of the Stephen Amell series and Grant Gustin Flash pilot in the works at the network. “These are iconic characters, so we’re going to be very careful with Wonder Woman. You only get one shot before you get bit.”

The article also mentioned iZombie is in the works, which is a good fit for the CW, but even so, come on. Smallville ran for a decade, Arrow is doing well in the ratings for a CW show, and it seems like an action series about a woman putting boot to ass would be a rather natural fit for a network that keeps giving money to Nikita.

We’ve noted before that Hollywood and DC both really struggle with Wonder Woman, but this is getting almost ridiculous at this point. If you expect us to take Hourman seriously, especially with a concept that’s basically Early Edition with more fistfights, you would think they would at least make a serious effort to put out a Wonder Woman tv show.

Look, we’ll help you: Put her in New York, give her a few human friends, and have her beat up a second-tier DC supervillain every episode. Boom, there’s your series. Call us with the check.

I’m pretty sure this is code for “they are making a movie and said we couldn’t make a show anymore” I mean they hired a Wonder Woman and made it it’s own news so they are trying. I’m not saying they haven’t fumbled the ball, but they are working towards her.

As much as I like arrow, which is a medium amount, a hooded archer doesn’t need the budget that a demigod fighting real gods would need

Is the Wonder Woman brand just highly overrated? What kind of demand is out there for a new WW movie/show? I think people are just assuming she should have a contemporary screen presence because all of these other heroes are getting their shows/movies.
You guys would know better then me, but I don’t anybody who gives a shit about WW

“You only get one shot before you get bit”. I bet you suck at Frogger, Pedowitz.

Not that this didn’t have stinker written all over it to start with. Why not just lift a bit from the current comic? If any title has benefited from the generally awful New52 it’s Azzarello’s Wonder Woman.
